Can You Feed Your Pet Dog Scraps?


Be sure that you are feeding your pet dog a balanced and complete commercial diet.  If you add something that is not balanced and complete, it could mess up his diet.  Generally, you do not want to offer table scraps to your dog.  But if you are the type who likes to offer treats to your pet outside of the normal feeding times, ensure that you offer treats that are healthy.  Also, be sure that treats are not going over 10 percent of your pet’s daily calorie intake recommendations.

Knowing this, cannoli and spaghetti should not be offered to your dog.  Try some turkey or vegetables like cooked peas.  Small pieces of cooked lean meat are ideal.  Small quantities of fruits and vegetables too, except grapes, raisins, and onions.  Just do not cook them with too much salt and butter.  Dogs seem to like celery, carrots, and various other vegetables that you would think otherwise.  Some dogs even like bok choy.  Do not offer food items that have macadamia nuts and chocolate because these could be harmful to dogs.  Before offering a new type of doggie treat to your pet, ensure that it is not toxic to him.

A sudden change in your pet's appetite and/or eating habits should warrant a visit to your animal hospital San Diego CA
